Abstract	Lean philosophy has an important role to play in today’s competitive globalised market which is mainly governed by fickle requirement of market, rapid change and advancement in technology, quality, profit, cost reduction and higher expectations of customer. As world has witnessed that implementation of lean concepts in industries has resulted into enhanced productivity, better quality, higher profit, better customer satisfaction, sense of achievement in employees, better employee and employer relation, sense of belonging towards their work. In spite of these advantages lean philosophy has not caught the attention and imagination of top management in all kinds of industries for e.g. SMEs, service industries, system engineering and product development. The main reason of non-implementation of lean concepts can be attributed to various obstacles or barriers being faced by industries. Earlier research indicates that few of the barriers are known to the environment and attempts have also been made by researchers and experts in lean philosophy to establish a relationship between these barriers. In this paper the aim is the correct identification and confirmation of barriers of lean implementation in present scenario and establishing a relationship between them. It is also important to come out with the strategies to overcome the identified obstacles faced by industries in implementing lean philosophy. The approaches in this paper used are firstly in-depth knowledge of subject inanalysis by literature review, secondly by means of a comprehensive questionnaire circulated to various industries to collect the qualitative data, and lastly to validate the data and to derive the inferences.
